My 300 gal Orino growout build

Finally finnished refubishing an old 300 gallon i picked up awhile back, had to clean up the tank, and build a stand for it. Thought i'd share some pics of the whole process (theres alot of em!). Hope you guys enjoy.

Nice tank and fish!!! I have been looking for a bigger tank for a while now (my largest is a 75, want atleast a 125) but craigslist has been a bust. Everyone in San Antonio wants big $$$ for the same size tank I have already. I just moved from Houston last year, was living in Katy. Take care and thanks for sharing.

Thanks man, yeah i was looking for a loooong time before i finnaly found this tank. I was actually looking for a wider footprint, but the guy was selling this for $500 and i just couldn't pass it up.
